  • Patent number: 11840106
    Abstract: A method for decorating a sliding board including on its visible part, a composite material formed of a fibrous layer coated with hardenable resin, includes preparing a transfer film that includes a face covered with a pattern constituted of an arrangement of grains of at least one type of ink. The ink includes colourants and a crosslinked polymer. The method also includes positioning the face of the transfer film covered with the pattern on all or some of the external surface of the composite material, applying pressure and temperature conditions generating the softening or/then hardening of the resin to as to incrust the grains of the pattern in the superficial layer of the composite material while conserving the arrangement of the grains, and peeling the transfer film.

  • Publication number: 20140217641
    Abstract: Process for the manufacturing of a board for gliding on snow, with the said board including at least one fibrous reinforcement (20) embedded in an acrylic resin, during which one places all the component parts of the board in a mold in order, after closure of the mold, to expose this assembly to pre-determined pressure and/or temperature conditions, characterized by the fact that, before and/or during the subjection to the said pressure and/or temperature conditions, the fibrous reinforcement (20) is impregnated with an impregnation composition including at least 70%, in weight, of alkyl (meth)acrylate.

  • Patent number: 7419179
    Abstract: A snow ski board (1) such as a ski, monoski, or a snowboard, with a vertical plane of general symmetry (P) includes a body or base (2) that includes at least in a binding zone (3) two hollow lateral recesses (8a, 8b) extending longitudinally. A longitudinal rib (11) is defined between the recesses. Each of the longitudinal recesses (8a, 8b) opens at least towards the top (HA). The body (2) is affixed, at least in the binding zone (3) to a supplementary element (4) having two lateral longitudinal parts (4a, 4b) which extend longitudinally and parallel. The two lateral longitudinal parts (4a, 4b) are affixed into the longitudinal recesses (8a, 8b) and are linked by at least one transverse connector (4c).

  • Publication number: 20080185800
    Abstract: A snowboard (1), comprising a core (4) covered with an upper assembly (10), which comprises: a reinforcing layer (12) impregnated with a polymerized resin, an upper protective layer (11) having a penetrating opening (20, 21), and an additional decorative element (13) present inside said opening (2) extending under the upper protective layer (11) at the periphery of said opening, characterized in that the additional decorative element (13) is formed of a layer of fibrous material, and in that it comprises a layer (14) of a polymer material forming a seal barrier between said additional element (13) and the resin of the reinforcing layer (12), said sealed layer (14) extending under the additional element and projecting beyond said element (13) to contact the underside (16) of the upper protective layer (11).
